Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 42 42. To the above, I will subjoin two Memorable Relations from the spiritual world. First: One morning, looking up to heaven, I beheld above me expanse upon expanse. And I saw that the first expanse, which was near-by, opened, and presently the second, which was higher, and lastly the third, which was the highest; and by enlightenment therefrom, I perceived that upon the first expanse we... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=42 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 56 56. The Second Memorable Relation: Once, while talking with angels in the world of spirits, I was inspired with a pleasant desire to see the Temple of Wisdom which I had seen once before;* and I asked them the way. They said, "Follow the light and you will find it." I said, "What do you mean by "Follow the light"?" and they said: "Our light shines more... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=56 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 95 95. VII. BUT THAT CONJUGIAL LOVE BELONG TO THE INTERNAL OR SPIRITUAL MAN, AND HENCE IS PROPER TO MAN. That conjugial love belongs to the internal or spiritual man, is because the more a man becomes intelligent and wise, the more does he become internal or spiritual and the more is the form of his mind perfected. It is this form that receives conjugial love; for in that love he perceives and feels... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=95 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 182 182. To the above shall be added two Memorable Relations. First: Some weeks after (the meeting on Parnassus (no. 156a)), I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Lo, there is again an assemblage on Parnassus. Come hither, we will show you the way." I went, and when I was close by, I saw upon Helicon a man with a trumpet, with which he proclaimed the assembly and appointed the plac... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=182 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 213 213. III. THAT WITH THOSE WHO ARE IN LOVE TRULY CONJUGIAL THE HAPPINESS OF COHABITATION INCREASES BUT WITH THOSE WHO ARE NOT IN CONJUGIAL LOVE IT DECREASES. That the happiness of cohabitation increases with those who are in love truly conjugial is because they love each other mutually with every sense. The wife sees nothing more lovable than the man, and the man nothing more lovable than the wife;... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=213 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 238 238. IV. THAT THE INTERNAL CAUSES OF COLD ARE FROM RELIGION. That the true origin of conjugial love resides with man in his inmosts, that is, in his soul, is a matter of conviction with every one, from the mere fact that the soul of the offspring is from the father--a fact which is recognized from the similarity of inclinations and affections, and also from the general similarity of features deriv... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=238 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 257 257. XXI. THAT OF THE ACCIDENTAL CAUSES OF COLD, THE SECOND IS, THAT BECAUSE OF THE COVENANT AND THE LAW,LIVING WITH THE MARRIED PARTNER SEEMS FORCED AND NOT FREE. This is a cause only with those with whom conjugial love is cold in their inmosts; and being an addition to the internal cold, it becomes an accessory or accidental cause. With such men, extra-conjugial love is intrinsically in heat by... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=257 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 266 266. After witnessing these sad and frightful scenes, I looked around and saw two angels standing not far from me and talking together. One was clothed in a woolen toga, bright with flamy purple, and under it a tunic of shining linen; and the other in similar raiment of scarlet, with a miter, the right side of which was studded with a number of rubies. Approaching them, I gave the salutation of pe... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=266 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 293 293. To the above shall be adjoined two Memorable Relations. The first is this: Once when looking through a window towards the east, I saw seven women sitting on a bed of roses by a fountain, drinking water. I strained my sight to see what they were doing, and the intentness of my gaze affected them; whereupon, one of them by a nod invited me, and I left the house and quickly went to th... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=293 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 338 338. V. THAT HENCE IT IS, THAT FOR A CHRISTIAN IT IS NOT LAWFUL TO MARRY MORE THAN ONE WIFE. This is already confirmed as a consequence of the articles previously confirmed, to which must be added the following: The genuine conjugial is more deeply inscribed on the minds of Christians than on the minds of Gentiles who have embraced polygamy. The minds of Christians are therefore more susceptible t... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=338 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 405 405. XVI. THAT THE LOVE OF INFANTS [AND CHILDREN] IS OF ONE KIND WITH SPIRITUAL MARRIED PARTNERS, AND OF ANOTHER WITH NATURAL. With spiritual partners the love of infants is the same in appearance as the love of infants with natural partners; but it is more internal and hence more tender, inasmuch as it exists from the innocence with themselves, and from a closer reception and a more present perce... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=405 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 452 452. VII. THAT FORNICATION IS LIGHT SO FAR AS IT LOOKS TO CONJUGIAL LOVE AND PREFERS IT. There are degrees of evil as to its nature, just as there are degrees of good as to its nature. Therefore, every evil is a more or less light or grievous evil, just as every good is a more or less better or best good. It is the same with fornication. Being a lust and belonging to the natural man not yet purifi... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=452 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 454 454. IX. THAT THE LUST OF FORNICATING IS MORE GRIEVOUS AS IT VERGES TO THE CUPIDITY OF VARIETIES AND THE CUPIDITY OF DEFLORATION. The reason is because these two are accessories of adultery, making it more grievous; for adulteries are mild, grievous, and more grievous; and each kind is estimated according to its opposition to conjugial love, and thus its destruction thereof. That the cupidity of v... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=454 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 459 459. XIII. THAT WITH THOSE WHO FOR VARIOUS REASONS CANNOT YET ENTER INTO MARRIAGE, AND BECAUSE OF SALACITY CANNOT RESTRAIN THEIR LUSTS, THIS CONJUGIAL CAN BE PRESERVED IF THE [ROAMING] LOVE OF THE SEX BECOME RESTRICTED TO ONE MISTRESS. That immoderate and inordinate lust cannot be curbed by those who are salacious, reason sees and experience teaches. In order then, that, with those who labor under... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=459 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 466 466. IV. THAT IT IS WHOREDOM, AND BY IT THE CONJUGIAL WHICH IS THE PRECIOUS TREASURE* OF CHRISTIAN LIFE, IS DESTROYED. That it is a whoredom more opposed to conjugial love than the common whoredom which is called simple adultery, and that it is the deprivation of all ability and inclination for the conjugial life which is within Christians from birth, can be proved by arguments which are valid bef... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=466 Wisdom's Delight in Marriage Love: Followed by Insanity’s Pleasure in Promiscuous Love 495 495. XV. THAT ADULTERIES FROM PURPOSE OF THE WILL, AND ADULTERIES FROM CONFIRMATION OF THE UNDERSTANDING, RENDER MEN NATURAL, SENSUAL, AND CORPOREAL. Man is man and is distinguished from the beast by the fact that his mind is distinguished into three regions, being as many as are the heavens, and that he can be elevated from the lowest region into the higher and from this into the highest, and so... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=ml§ion=495 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 66 66. Predestination is also an offspring of the faith of the present church, because it is born from a belief in instantaneous salvation from immediate mercy, and from a belief in absolute impotence and no free-will in spiritual things, concerning which, see below (n. 68, 69). That this follows from them, as one fiery flying serpent from another, or one spider from another, may be seen above. Prede... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=66 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 100 100. BRIEF ANALYSIS. The reason why the New Church is meant by "the New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven" (Rev. 21), is that Jerusalem was the metropolis of the land of Canaan, and there was the temple, the altar, there the sacrifices were offered, thus Divine worship, to which every male throughout the land was commanded to come three times a year. Then, because the Lo... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=100 A Brief Exposition of the Teachings for the New Church Meant by the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation 108 108. The first reason why the Roman Catholics may be brought into the New Jerusalem, or the New Church, more easily than the Reformed, is because the faith of justification by the imputation of the merit of Christ, which is an erroneous faith, and cannot be together with the faith of the New Church (n. 102-104), is with them obliterated, yea, is to be altogether obliterated; but it is as it were e... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=be§ion=108 True Christian Religion: Containing the Whole Theology of the New Church Predicted by the Lord in Daniel 7:13-14 and Revelation 21:1-2 53 53. God is order because He is substance itself and form itself. He is substance because all things that subsist have come forth and continue to come forth from Him. He is form because every quality of substances has sprung and continues to spring from Him, quality having no other source than form. As God, then, is the very, the only, and the first substance and form, and at the same time the very... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=tcr§ion=53
